Riassunto:
The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories written by
Rudyard Kipling.The tales in the book (and also those in The
Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes
five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in
an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of
The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the
safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in
them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the
Indian jungle."
